Taken me a while to get round to looking through the pics properly... hence the delay, but i think that i'm gonna jsut post this one, as the guy deserves it :-

Gregorio Lavilla - Standing in for Leon Haslam's team mate James Haydon who's been injured for the first two race meetings.
Although Emmett has occasionally shown sparks of fire on the "big bang" Yamaha, Lavilla's been the only real challenger to Kiyonari, and in race two he pushed him all the way to the very end. Unfortunatly for the race series, Lavilla's had to give up his ride on the Ducati, as Haydon is fit to race again... Dont' get me wrong, I want Haydon on the track, but at the cost of the only serious challenger... come on you guys at GSE... why not run 3 bikes?

Well onto the pic [if you've made it this far] ... Here's Lavilla entering the complex at Thruxton [qualifying day... i like to actually watch the races]

A final mention to Cadwell - Thanks for the info on what's what at Thruxton... my first visit there, and i was impressed by the amount we could see... but i think the track should be looking to try and expand the viewing area... as the crowds are growing and it's getting tight in there.

Nice shot there. :)

2nd shot isn't showing for me.
Edit: nope, it's just my silly 56K connection, sorry.
